Purchased one (iPhone 11 version) off amazon a few weeks ago for $99. I’m surprised how much I use it. The bulkier design is actually more naturally contoured for a hand. The photo/video button is a nice feature as well. Recommended.

Photographing it from straight on? What a sneaky little trick to hide the massive protrusion this case has.

*battery case adds a little more thickness*

“It’s too thick, who would want a case that bulges out like that?!?”

Cool. Let me know when you want to discuss photography tricks to hide form. In the meantime, carry on with your discussion with yourself.
 
I wish I could get one but I'm gonna wait for this whole virus thing to end. Not sure how long it lives on things shipped to my door.

The difference being Apple need only marginally increase thickness and weight of the phone to significantly increase battery life (while retaining overall good looks) as they have done in the iPhone Pro: finally listening to customer requests.

The battery cases have to encase a separate battery in some form of casing (silicone etc) with associated electronics and a connection to the lightning port, drastically increasing bulk and, in this case, in an oddly asymmetrical and unattractive fashion.

Totally different solutions to the same problem!

Probably for no longer than it can live on the food you need to get in, while you’re waiting.
